she awoke to Scott trying to have sex, she testified. She said she tried to get up and “I started to say the word ‘no’ when he hit me.”

She immediately called friends, telling one of them “Austin hurt me,” she testified. A male friend rushed to pick her up and police were called, according to testimony.

The woman was taken by police to Mount Nittany Medical Center for treatment. Emergency room nurse Janet Cady testified she photographed and documented a number of bruises, red areas and abrasions on the woman’s body, including bruising where the woman said Scott punched her to begin the alleged assault.

“What makes this assault different ... is that she was punched in the kidney in order to gain compliance,” assistant district attorney Lance Marshall said outside the courthouse. “This case is more unusual than our typical sex assault case” on campus.

Austin Scott has been ordered to stand trial on felony rape and sexual-assault charges.
